Bathurst Race 3 - Tab Regional Championships - Western Heat 2
GLITTER AINT GOLD (10) hasn't raced since tackling a Group 1 in October but recorded a series of seconds prior including a big effort after racing wide two back at Menangle. Won the only time he attempted this circuit and distance and will be ready to go off a series of trials, winning his last two. ALWAYSBMINNIE (9) comes off solid efforts in the Riverina Championships including a fourth to top mare Eye Keep Smiling in the heats. Strikes at 50 per cent at this venue and distance and draws for a nice trail. NOVANTA RISING (8) draws wide but is on the radar having gone under by less than 5m in his last-start fifth at Menangle. MCLEAN (6) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, kicking off the campaign with back-to-back placings before a solid fourth from the second line last time.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 20 m by Whyiman (1:52.30) in NR up to 60 on April 22 at $12. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m (Fr5) at Menangle (1:55.10) beating Our Rocky in 4yo+ NR up to 50 on March 28 at $6. Draws the inside and could bounce back.
